Reviews

I have started teaching recently. I am an ESL teacher now. When I finished my TESOL course, I was recommended to get this book (‘English Grammar in Use’ by Raymond Murthy). I have bought it recently and been using it almost every day for both pre-intermediate and intermediate levels. My students like this book as well because they get a simple explanation of grammar rules in the book and they enjoy doing the exercises from the book. You will find it very useful and easy to understand for your students. You get rules on one page and different types of exercises on the next page. This book is highly recommended by many experienced teachers and now I know why. It’s just great!

It is a very good book, my son and I go through this book at least once a day.
I personally recommend this if you are learning english or if you want your kids to study. I compared the price of this book with other stores online and this was the cheapest one. The book did not come damaged and was shipped over to us at a good time.
